Tom Thumb is the name of a traditional hero in English folklore who was no bigger than his father's thumb. Aside from folk tale, Tom Thumb figures in Henry Fielding 's ''The Tragedy of Tragedies, or the History of Tom Thumb the Great,'' which became, when printed, ''The Author's Farce'' ( 1731 ). The name is often adopted for people or objects of small stature. EXTERNAL LINK
